Y’2 rough out and LW vest. The vest adds a real adrenaline shot to anything you put over it. I dare not go any further with this look, I’m not ready for a cowboy hat and it’s been years since I dare dosie-dough’d or allemande left-ed. LOL. Enjoy the leather weather ya leather heads!

Thanks for the kind words Paul! TBH I can’t even remember which jacket you are referring to but that probably points to a serious jacket problem I have. LOL. Anyway I appreciate the compliment and welcome aboard!

Best bet is to talk to her directly. It’s a bit tricky when comparing textiles to leather in my experience. I can easily wear a denim jacket with a 22” p2p but need more like 23” or more in leather. My rule of thumb is 1” -1.5” more for leather over textile through the chest for fit (depending on liner). My gut says a 36” 30’s HB would fit you well but please take that with a grain of salt. Aero can get you squared away far better than I can.

LW Ryder 4oz plus horsehide weight 7.3 lbs. Much better pattern than Suburban in my opinion, heavy satin with inter lining and storm cuff, fits perfectly except hip area is little too big, another LW grainy horsehide, supple, thick and loud. Mint condition, smells like a new jacket.

I used to have a 50s black cxl half belt, it was a size 34. When I asked about sizing on the 30s half belt premier range, I was recommended a size 38.

You beat me to it by a matter of seconds! Looks good!
very lucky indeed, fits exactly like your heavy HB except sleeves maybe 0.5 to 1 inches shorter.
great jacket, but if I have to spend $1300 on LW? definitely no.

Was going to say, it certainly doesn’t look like a long size...you probably saved me some headache as they’d have been just a bit short for me. I always felt my cordo HB were borderline for me, which I could never figure out as they were the same length spec wise as a dozen others.
